Richard Llerena is a down to earth attorney. The offices are not at all intimidating. He has been attentive to my relatively minor case. When I've needed to reach him he gets back to me quickly.
I highly recommend him.

It was so very worth spending a half day with Cory going through the firearms safety training course. He was super professional & knowledgeable, including the relevant laws (of course, since he's an attorney), and packed in a wealth of knowledge and practice into 4 hours. What I appreciated was his ability to adjust & tailor the session to each individual's specific prior experience -- I had some experience shooting, but not any formal training, and learned an incredible amount, and feel much more confident about moving forward. Thank you!

What an amazing and educational experience! As an absolute beginner (never have shot a handgun) to feeling confident in simply holding a gun to shooting within the 4 hour safety training was so rewarding! Cory tailors to your exact experience and goals and inspires the importance of knowledge and safety to create confidence and competence in gun usage. Super excited to continue to the next level. I highly recommend Cory for any level of gun usage for his expertise and quality of safety.

I had the pleasure of working with Gavin Vargas out of the West Palm Beach office for my personal injury car accident. Gavin and his team went above and beyond to fight for best settlement. They guided me on the process, were communicative, and kept me informed throughout the case. Thank you for your effort and persistence to settle my case above expectations. Would highly recommend Gavin to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney!

In June of 2016, I found myself facing multiple felony charges which were completely unfounded. I was referred to Andrew D. Stine, P.A., based in West Palm Beach. Thanks to the knowledge, expertise, and passion of Mr. Stine, all of my charges were dropped and I am in the process of rebuilding my life. I would recommend Mr. Stine to anyone who may be facing felony charges, whether warranted or not.

I work with Mr.Stine on two occasions, my divorce and a crimal case. This man outstandingly got me free in only one day. He has a great payment plan if money is low. He has even cleaned my name free of charge. What lawyer would do that for someone. He was patient with my divorce case and all my standards were met at the end. Thank you Mr.Stine.

I approached Joel Mumford with the case, he worked very hard on it and was able to help me get all the charges reduced and my license back without any record on my file. Besides being the best criminal lawyer. (Criminal Traffic Cases). He is genuine, humble, and humane.

In a world of menial professionals looking to take the nearest path of least resistance at your cost, once they're paid, Joel separates himself and puts forth substantial effort to ensure the best outcome for his clients, as any high powered attorney should strive to do. Hire Joel and his team and you'll be impressed with his effort and extatic of the outcome he produces for you in the results of your case.

I cannot say enough great comments about Joel and his team who worked with me and my family to correct a driving with a suspended license charge. This charge was very important since it could have impacted my scholarships and my future. Joel delivered as promised and worked hard daily to answer all of our questions. Fernando from his team called and provided us updates regularly and kept our mind at ease was a comforting voice on the other end of the phone when needed. I cannot thank Joel enough for drafted the motions and made the arguments that in turned, got the case re-opened and then dismissed. This is a really big deal as pleading guilty to driving while license suspended would have left a criminal record and the speeding would have caused points and an insurance rate hike and we are very happy with the results. There couldn't have been a better outcome. Dont Hesitate ! Call and have them on your side.

I met eric over a txt message spoke to him about 3 or 4 times concerning a major issue I was dealing with progressive he was very busy but also very attentive and concerned about everything that was happening! It took Eric at least 3/4 weeks to get everything resolved for me and for me that was a very fast especially with him coming into this situation blind folded! I am grateful that I got to experience his abilities as an amazing lawyer to get this done. There is no doubt about it my mind that I wouldn’t reach back out to him if needed to do so.

I met Eric through a friend, he spoke very highly of Eric, and guess what everything he said was 100% true cause I ended up hiring him. He is a very experienced powerful attorney who's power shows through his work. I used Eric 3 times, and all 3 outcomes were 100% successful. What I really appreciate about Eric is the fact that you don't have to go through any assistance to get to him he is completely direct no matter the time he always finds a way to get to you lol I used to ask myself if he ever get a full 8 hours of sleep. I'm so grateful to Eric cause if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be rejoicing right now and you know what's more important he is a man of his word who treats his clients with so much respect and kindness. I would highly recommend Eric based on my experience with him and the fact that he represents you with his heart, and does not make you feel like your are being judged. To Eric Voltz may you never let money get to your head please continue being you, may God bless you, and everything you touch abundantly. You are an attorney at heart and it shows through your work!

On January 21, 2010 I was arrested for child abuse when I got into an argument with my baby's mother, while she was holding our child. She claimed that I hit her and since she was holding our baby the police came and arrested me for Child Abuse and Domestic Battery. Upon the recommendation of a former client, I immediately hired John Riordan. John immediately sent a letter to the State Attorney advising that under Florida Law the State could not support charges of Child Abuse. The State had no choice but to drop the felony charge and "No Filed" the Child Abuse charge and moved forward on the misdemeanor Domestic Battery. For over a year this case was fought hard and aggressive and ultimately, we were able to get the Domestic Battery charges dropped too.

I have used John for several issues over the last few years. Most recently John handled a civil lawsuit in Federal Court for my company. He skillfully negotiated a settlement that resolved the suit and saved my company.

Scott Skier is an Exceptional Attorney! From the moment we contacted him, he was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable! He took the time to listen to all the details and explained everything in a way that made us feel informed and confident. Scott’s deep understanding of criminal law and the legal system was evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight for your rights, Scott Skier is the one you want in your corner. I’m beyond grateful for his help and would give more than 5 stars if I could!

He was paid $10.000 of my money, he never communicated with me, only my ruthless sister, I ended up with a felony which has ruined my Problem was he not knowing (especially odd for what I see is supposed to be a attorney with great reviews) what my legal address was since 2014, my license clearly stated that & I had been living with my Mother for a consistent 9 months, & through the years on and off. 2 nd Judge gave me ankle monitor, Mr Scott Skier said "Well if you had somewhere to go we could have fought this, your Mother had many problems." Even the public defender knew that was my address. Never got back in the building, never saw my mail or belongings again. The police report was absurd, my Mother had dementia and also made up stories, she stated that I had just moved in the day before coming from jail....I actually thought the detective made that up. I actually flew in January 2021 from Long Island, NY, she actually was upset I didn't make it there for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was arrested October 2021 for nothing!!! I have to add that I went to apply for Social security, April 2024, they told me they could not pay incarcerated people, I was in shock.... Evidently the case was never closed. They thought I was an escaped prisoner😱😎😂😡I met attorneys that said they knew him very well, my sisters flew in from NY & changged the locks on my own residence that I shared with my Mother, I was told my new attorneys I could have knocked the door down on the 22 nd. floor

I hired this lawyer to help my son with a legal issue, and I am extremely disappointed with the lack of assistance we received. Despite our expectations, the lawyer seemed disinterested and unengaged throughout the process. Communication was practically nonexistent, leaving us feeling left in the dark about the process of the case. Our concerns were brushed aside, and it felt like we were an afterthought. This experience has left me frustrated and regretful of my decision to hire this lawyer. I would not recommend their service to anyone seeking genuine legal support and representation.

I was recommended to and hired Ms. Masters after the first meeting. She was understanding with my personal situation and concerns. Throughout the on-going years, she helped me through all the processes and procedures (as well as help me understand why). Always available, just either a phone/text/e-mail away. She was honest with her prices. In the end, VERY HAPPY with the outcome.
To sum it up:
Professional.
Reliable.
Available.
Kind.
Honest!!
Reasonably priced.
Excellent lawyer who knows the law. If attorney services ever needed in the future, should the occasion ever arise, I will hands down and without a doubt hire, Ms. Masters!

Valerie is a great attorney! Never imagined we’d need a criminal defense lawyer, but my husband knew her through a friend and immediately thought of her when we needed one. She was very thorough when explaining how the process would work for us. She laid out worst and best case scenarios so nothing would catch us by surprise. She absolutely knows what she’s doing and was very happy to refer us to other competent professionals on matters that aren’t her specialty. Our case was pretty simple and straight forward, but she was still 100% available for any questions we had and was always just a text away for whatever we needed. Her fee seemed very fair and we’re so happy she was there to represent us. Absolutely, hands down recommend her!

First and foremost, I want to say this is the best law firm you could go to and get your case handled professionally and in a timely manner. The team here has been awesome, I fully recommend them.
Mr Levers will tell you the truth. If something isn't right, he's definitely letting you know, but at the end of the day, he is getting the job done no matter how difficult the situation may seem. I am very proud, and I never doubt him one bit. Thanks to the Levers Law firm crew for getting my case approved. Best wishes to you always.

At a moment's notice Steve got involved in my son's assault case on and off duty officer he was specific efficient and very reasonably priced even knowing the position we were in from being out of state he could have easily taken advantage of us. My wife has been in the legal field for 30 years and at no point have I ever dealt with an attorney in Michigan that was one-tenth of the attorney that Steve is down in Florida I am the most appreciative client he's ever had and he is definitely a Class Act obviously at this time you figured out that my son's assault charges were reduced and everything was fine and even helped me try to get my bond back properly at no cost as I said he's a Class Act and I'd recommend him to anybody

My husband was in need of professional intervention in some traffic court trouble he was facing. We were panicking and needed help fast. We contacted Steve Gomberg and he handled the issues immediately, and provided us with professional representation through the entire process. Not only did he handle all matters he kept us informed of every decision and action he was taking in a timely matter. We felt very comforted and trusted him completely to handle our matters. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing representation and I will request his services in the future should I need them.

Attorney Steven Gomberg was referred to my by a friend. After discussing my case by phone, we agreed to meet in his office. Immediately upon meeting him, I felt comfortable and confident that he was the man I wanted to represent me. Mr. Gomberg laid everything out on the table so it was clear what was expected of me and the argument he planned to use to resolve my case. He is so efficient. There were no surprises. Throughout the case, he was available anytime I had questions. He also offered to speak to family members in order to appease any of their concerns. I am very satisfied and highly recommend Attorney Gomberg.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.

- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
